“Music fills the infinite between two souls”

“The touch of an infinite mystery passes over the trivial and the familiar, making it break out into ineffable music... The trees, the stars, and the blue hills ache with a meaning which can never be uttered in words.”

“Only when waves fall on the shore do they make a harmonious sound; Only when breezes shake the woods do we hear a rustling in the leaves. Only from a marriage of two forces does music arise in the world. Where the is no love, where listeners are dumb, there can never be song.”

“Ah, thou hast made my heart captive in the endless meshes of thy music, my master!”

“Come oh come ye tea-thirsty restless ones -- the kettle boils, bubbles and sings, musically.”

“My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach, listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening.”

“The fish in the water is silent, the animals on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing. But man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air.”
